Introduction

Welcome to the Unit API! Our documentation will walk you from the basics (authentication, request structure) to using and creating financial products (accounts, cards, payments etc.).

Unit treats each client as a standalone organization. You may log into the Unit Dashboard to manage your organization's API tokens, users, applications, customers, accounts and more.

Ready to get started? Contact us to request sandbox access and we'll get your organization set up. We will send you a welcome email that includes your dashboard credentials, a front-end code sample (React) and a server code sample (Node.js).

This introduction section describes our environments, authentication and other general topics.

Environments

Our API and Dashboard are available in two environments:

Name	Dashboard URL	API URL
Sandbox	https://app.s.unit.sh/	`https://api.s.unit.sh/`
Production	Please contact Unit	Please contact Unit

The sandbox environment contains special API operations that allow you to easily test and simulate different activities, from incoming payments to card spend. You can find the full reference under Simulations.

Postman Collection

You can interact immediately with the Unit API via Postman.

To get started, import the Unit API Postman Collection into Postman, either by link or by downloading and importing the file. For more information, see the following under the Postman help: Importing Data into Postman.

The collection contains two variables:

Key	Value
`token`	Your API Token. You can create it from the API Tokens page on the Unit Dashboard.
`server_url`	Initially set to the sandbox environment.

Authentication

Example

GET /accounts HTTP/1.1
Host: api.s.unit.sh
Authorization: Bearer v2.public.eyJyb2xlIjoib3JnIiwidX...

Unit's API uses OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token to authenticate requests. All API calls must include the bearer token. You can create an API Token from the API Tokens page on the Unit Dashboard.

When creating an API Token you would need to select the scopes of the token, by default the Create Token Page selects the recommended scopes for an API token.

The unselected scopes are sensitive scopes that are related to funds movement and cards creation. Unit recommends that for those scopes you would use a Customer Token.

An invalid, missing or expired token will result in HTTP 401 Unauthorized responses.

Customer Token

A secure alternative to a broad bearer token is a customer-specific bearer token, also known as Customer Token. This type of token is limited to resources under a particular customer (accounts, transactions, statements and more). For instructions, see Create Customer Token.

Rate Limits

Our rate limit is based on your IP address and is set to 1,000 requests per minute. The limit applies to each environment (sandbox and production) separately. If the limit is exceeded, responses will include an HTTP 429 status code along with a relevant message.

Full-Text Search

The List operation under certain resources (such as Application, Customer or Transaction) supports full-text search, to help you find the desired resources more easily.

In particular, you can use full-text search to quickly build better end-customer experiences. An example would be adding a search box that lets end-customers search for transactions by merchant name (e.g. ‘starbucks’) when browsing transactions under their account.

Full-Text search rules:

unquoted text: text without quote marks will be converted into words separated by ‘And’ operators. Example: ‘john doe’ will search for a resource with the value ‘john’ and the value ‘doe’.
OR: will be converted into words separated by the ‘Or’ operator. Example: ‘john or doe’ will search for a resource with either the value ‘john’ or the value ‘doe’.
-: will be converted into the ‘Not’ operator. Example: ‘john -doe’ will search for a resource with the value ‘john’ and without the value ‘doe’.

Pagination

List operations on all resources (example: List Customers) return a list of resources.

To page through a long list, use the following two query parameters:

page[limit]: Limit the number of resources to be returned (between 1 and 1000). Defaults to 100 when no value is provided.
page[offset]: Number of resources to skip. Defaults to 0 when no value is provided.

Idempotency

Some of our API operations support request idempotency, allowing you to call a sensitive operation multiple times and assume that its work will be done no more than once. You may use any string of up to 255 characters as an idempotency key (we recommend UUID version 4).

The guarantee of idempotency is crucial when an API call has failed without a clear reason and a retry is due. For example, if creating a payment does not succeed due to a network error, you can safely retry creating the payment, passing the same idempotency key and assume the payment will occur no more than once, regardless of the number of calls.

Idempotency keys are guaranteed effective for 48 hours from the time they're used successfully. After this time window, they will be recycled and existing keys will therefore be treated as new.

Organization Accounts

Organization accounts (also known as org accounts) are special-purpose accounts that Unit sets up to support your activities. Unlike deposit accounts, org accounts existing on the org level and not under your customers.

Common types of org accounts include:

Revenue account: the account that Unit automatically credits with your org's interchange, interest and payment revenues
Reserve account
Cash Advance account
Clearing account
Batch account: see Batch Payments

Your org accounts can be accessed from the Unit Dashboard. You may also access data in org accounts programmatically, in the same way that you access data in deposit accounts (for example, by calling List Transactions).

About JSON:API

Unit's API is REST-based and follows the JSON:API specification.

JSON:API specifies how a client should request resources to be fetched or modified, and how a server should respond to those requests. Resources in Unit include applications, customers, cards, accounts, transactions and more.

JSON:API is designed to minimize both the number of requests and the amount of data transmitted between clients and servers. This efficiency is achieved without compromising readability, flexibility, or discoverability.

JSON:API requires the use of the JSON:API media type (application/vnd.api+json) for exchanging data.

Request and Response Structure

Single Resource Object Example:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "individualCustomer",
    "id": "1",
    "attributes": {
      // ... this customer's attributes
    },
    "relationships": {
      // ... this customer's relationships
    }
  }
}

Array of Resource Objects Example:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "type": "individualCustomer",
            "id": "1",
            "attributes": {
              // ... this customer's attributes
            },
            "relationships": {
              // ... this customer's relationships
            }
        }, {
           "type": "businessCustomer",
           "id": "2",
           "attributes": {
             // ... this customer's attributes
           },
           "relationships": {
             // ... this customer's relationships
           }
       }
   ]       
}

All JSON:API requests and responses are JSON documents.

A document MUST contain one of the following top-level members:

data: the document's “primary data”. Example: when creating an individual application resource, the primary data will contain the individual's personal information.
errors: an array of error objects.

Primary data MUST be either:

a single resource object for requests that target single resources, or
an array of resource objects for requests that target resource collections.

Resource Object

Resource Example:

{
  "type": "individualCustomer",
  "id": "53",
  "attributes": {
    "createdAt": "2020-05-12T19:41:04.123Z",
    "fullName": {
      "first": "Peter",
      "last": "Parker"
    },
    "nationality": "US",
    "ssn": "721074426",
    "address": {
      "street": "20 Ingram St",
      "street2": null,
      "city": "Forest Hills",
      "state": "NY",
      "postalCode": "11375",
      "country": "US"
    },
    "dateOfBirth": "2001-08-10",
    "email": "peter@oscorp.com",
    "phone": {
      "countryCode": "1",
      "number": "15555555"
    }
  },
  "relationships": {
    // ... relationships
  }
}

JSON:API documents may contain resource objects to represent objects in the business domain. Unit's resources include applications, customers, cards, accounts, transactions and more.

A resource object MUST contain both the id and the type members.

Exception: the id member is not required when the resource object originates at the client and represents a new resource to be created on the server.

In addition, a resource object MAY contain these members:

attributes: an attributes object represents some of the resource’s data (examples include the resource name, address, email, etc.)
relationships: a relationship object describes the relationship between the current resource and other resources

Relationships

Resource with relationships example:

{
  "type": "depositAccount",
  "id": "50",
  "attributes": {
   // ...
  },
  "relationships": { // relationships object
    "customer": { // relationship object
      "data": { // resource linkage with single resource identifier
        "type": "businessCustomer",
        "id": "39"
      }
    }
  }
}

The relationships object describes the relationship between the current resource and other resources. Each member of the relationships object represents one reference.

In this example, we describe the relationship between a DepositAccount and the customer it belongs to.

Relationship

A “relationship object” MUST contain a data member with one of the following:

null for empty to-one relationships.
an empty array ([]) for empty to-many relationships.
a single resource identifier (type and id) for non-empty to-one relationships.
array of resource identifiers (type and id) for non-empty to-many relationships.

curl -X GET 'https://api.s.unit.sh/cards/41?include=customer,account' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"

Get operations on certain resources (such as Card) contain an include query parameter that helps you get multiple related resources within the response. You may specify one or more relationships (comma-separated- see example). The response will then contain an included key with the related resources.

The ability to get related resources helps you turn multiple API calls into one. The result is cleaner code and no data integrity questions that usually arise when making multiple API calls at slightly different points in time.

Resource with included example:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "individualDebitCard",
    "id": "41",
    "attributes": {
      "createdAt": "2020-11-30T16:00:52.919Z",

          }
        }

    }
  ]
}

Errors

Unit's API uses HTTP Status Codes to communicate whether a request has been successfully processed. A request may stop processing as soon as a problem is encountered, or it may continue processing and encounter multiple problems. In either case, the response will contain all available errors.

An “error object” MUST contain a title and the HTTP status code members with one or more of the following:

code: a Unit-specific code, uniquely identifying the error type.
details: additional information about the error.

Plaid Integration

Unit and Plaid have partnered to help Unit clients move funds between accounts on Unit and any external bank account. To get started, see add Unit to your app under the Plaid docs.

Once you authenticate an external bank account with Plaid, you can pass the resulting Plaid token to certain Unit API endpoints. Unit will then inspect the Plaid token for the full details of that external account (routing number, account number & more) and treat it as a counterparty in payments.

Unit API endpoints that can receive a Plaid token are:

Create a Counterparty with a Plaid Token: use this endpoint if you foresee making multiple payments to or from the external bank account. Unit will then create a counterparty representing the external account described in the Plaid token, and you can refer to it when creating all future payments.
Create an ACH Payment with a Plaid Token: use this endpoint if you foresee making just one casual payment to or from the external bank account. Unit will then create a payment with the counterparty being the external account described in the Plaid token. However, no linked counterparty resource will be created.

How-To Guides

Below are common use cases for the Plaid integration and steps you'll need to follow to build them:

Helping a Customer Fund Their Account

Example: you've just created a deposit account for an individual customer. You'd like to help them fund it from a bank account that they own on another institution (e.g. Chase).

Follow these steps:

Use Plaid to authenticate the customer's account on Chase
Create a counterparty with the Plaid Token
Initiate an ACH Debit payment with the newly created counterparty to pull funds from Chase

Helping a Customer Withdraw Funds from Their Account

Example: a business customer holds an account with you and wants to withdraw funds from it into a bank account on another institution (e.g. Wells Fargo).

Follow these steps:

Use Plaid to authenticate the customer's account on Wells Fargo
Create a counterparty with the Plaid Token
Initiate an ACH Credit payment with the newly created counterparty to send funds to Wells Fargo

Helping a Customer Bill a Third Party

Example: a business customer holds a deposit account with you and wants to bill a client that has an account on another institution (e.g. Bank of America) for an invoice.

Follow these steps:

Use Plaid to authenticate the third party account on Bank of America
Create a counterparty with the Plaid Token
Initiate an ACH Debit payment with the newly created counterparty to pull funds from Bank of America

Helping a Customer Pay a Third Party

Example: a business customer holds a deposit account with you and wants to pay a vendor that has an account on another institution (e.g. Bank of America)

Follow these steps:

Use Plaid to authenticate the third party account on Bank of America
Create a counterparty with the Plaid Token
Initiate an ACH Credit payment with the newly created counterparty to send funds to Bank of America

Applications

To onboard an end-customer, create an Application resource.

Unit supports two types of applications, depending on the type of end-customer: individual and business. Once you create an application, you will receive a response containing its status and a list of required documents.

Application creation request supports Idempotency, ensuring that performing multiple identical requests will have the same effect as performing a single request.

Application Statuses

The final statuses for an application are Approved or Denied. Once an application is approved, a Customer resource will be created and associated with the application resource. The new created customer resources will be referenced in the relationships object.

In most cases, an application will reach one of these final statuses immediately after creation, without requiring any documents.

In some cases, documents will be required and the application will enter an AwaitingDocuments status. Once you upload all the required documents, Unit will use the information provided to approve or deny the application. The decision may take seconds in some cases and up to two hours in other cases (when a manual review is required). Once the process is complete, you will receive a webhook containing the result.

An application can also be evaluated asynchronously, in which case its status will be Pending as long as the evaluation process is running. Once the process is complete, the status will change to either Approved, Denied or AwaitingDocuments and the relevant webhook event will be fired (see Pending status description below)

Below is a diagram describing the lifecycle of an application:

Below are all application statuses and their descriptions:

Status	Description
`AwaitingDocuments`	Certain documents are required for the process to continue. You may upload them via Upload Document.
`PendingReview`	The application is pending review by Unit.
`Pending`	The application is being evaluated asynchronously and a result should be available shortly. Listen for webhooks (application.denied, customer.created and application.awaitingdocuments) for the final result, or periodically query the application with Get by Id).
`Approved`	The application was approved. A `Customer` resource was created.
`Denied`	The application was denied. A `Customer` resource will not be created.

Create Individual Application

Create an application for an individual end-customer.

Field	Type	Description
data	Array of ApplicationDocument Resource	Array of application documents.

Customers

Customers represent individuals or businesses that you may create financial products for.

You cannot create customer resources directly — they are automatically created once an application is approved.

A customer can be either BusinessCustomer or IndividualCustomer.

Create Customer Token

curl -X POST 'https://api.s.unit.sh/customers/8/token' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}' \
--data-raw '{
  "data":{
    "type":"customerToken",
    "attributes": {
      "scope": "customers customer-token-create accounts-create accounts"
    }
  }
}
'

Listing all accounts of a customer:

curl -X GET 'https://api.s.unit.sh/accounts' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${CUSTOMER_TOKEN}"

Create a bearer token for a particular customer. The returned token can be used in the Authorization header as a secure alternative to the broader API token.

A Customer Token can only interact with resources under a particular customer. As an example, calling List Transactions with a customer bearer token will return only transactions within accounts under that particular customer.

Operations under the following resources may be called with a Customer Bearer Token:

Customers
Accounts
Transactions
Cards
Statements
Payments
Counterparties

Verb	`POST`
Url	`https://api.s.unit.sh/customers/:customerId/token`

Field	Type	Description
data.attributes.token	The token issued for the customer.
data.attributes.expiresIn	The lifetime of the token (in seconds).

Create Customer Token Verification

In order to increase security and prevent token theft, We support two-factor authentication when creating a customer token.

When creating a customer token that contains a scope which requires two-factor authentication (see Scopes), it is required to first create a verification challenge that will be sent to the customer.

The challenge is a six digits code and is valid for 10 minutes after its creation.

Create a token verification:

curl -X POST 'https://api.s.unit.sh/customers/10001/token/verification' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}' \
--data-raw '{
  "data":{
    "type":"customerTokenVerification",
    "attributes": {
      "channel": "sms"
    }
  }
}'

Payments

Unit allows you to originate and receive ACH payments from/to all deposit accounts. For general information on the ACH network, we recommend the following series from Gusto: How ACH Works: a Developer's Perspective.

ACH Origination overview

In Unit, an ACH payment originates from a Deposit Account. The entity on the other side of the payment is called a Counterparty. A counterparty is a combination of routing number, account number, account type, and name.

Each ACH payment has a direction- either Debit or Credit. In the context of ACH payment origination, the directions work as follows:

Debit - the payment “pulls” funds from the counterparty account. The amount is credited to the originating deposit account on Unit. It may take several business days for the credit to be settled, depending on the settings for your organization.
Credit - the payment “pushes” funds to the counterparty account. The amount is debited from the originating deposit account immediately.

ACH returns are handled by Unit:

When you're on the originating side of an ACH payment, the counterparty's institution may issue a return. This can happen in the case of ACH Debit (example reasons: unauthorized debit, insufficient funds in the counterparty's account) or ACH Credit (example reason: incorrect account number). When such returns happen, the payment.returned webhook event will be fired. In addition, a Returned ACH Transaction will be created within the relevant deposit account, to offset the original transaction associated with the ACH payment.
When you're on receiving side of an ACH payment, Unit may issue a return. This can happen in the case of ACH Debit (example reason: an attempt to debit a deposit account with insufficient funds) or ACH Credit (example reason: an attempt to credit an non-existent account number).

Originating an ACH payment supports Idempotency, to ensure that multiple identical requests will have the same effect as a single request.

ACH payment originations (both Debit and Credit) are subject to daily amount limits determined by the account's deposit product. Once you exceed the account's total daily limit, payments will be created under the Rejected status code, and the relevant API responses will contain the exact reason. You may contact Unit to change the limits for an account or a group of accounts.

Receiving an ACH payment

You can receive ACH payments (both Debit and Credit) into any deposit account. To do so, you may provide the routing number and account number to trusted third parties. These numbers are both attributes of any deposit account.

Received ACH payments are processed automatically. You can get notified on them by listening to the transaction.created webhook and inspecting the payload for a received ACH transaction.

Examples:

Receiving an ACH Credit in the amount of $20 when the balance is $0 will automatically result in a balance increase. Two transactions will be created: one received ACH transaction and one associated fee transaction (if the fee is non-zero).
Receiving an ACH Debit in the amount of $20 when the balance is $10 will automatically result in an ACH return to the originating side of the payment. No transactions will be created.

ACH Status

The ACH network operates in batches. When you originate an ACH payment, it will be created with a Pending status. You may track its progress using the status attribute or listening to relevant webhooks, such as payment.sent or payment.returned.

The possible status values are:

Status	Description
`Pending`	The payment was created on the Unit ledger but was not yet delivered to the ACH network. Payments with `Pending` status may be canceled by the originator.
`Rejected`	The payment was rejected due to insufficient funds or exceeding daily ACH limits (see `reason` for more details).
`Clearing`	(Debit only) The payment was sent but the deposit account was not credited yet.
`Sent`	The payment was processed by the ACH network. This is the final state for successful payments.
`Canceled`	The payment was canceled.
`Returned`	The payment was processed but the network or the receiving bank returned the payment (see `reason` for more details).

Book payments are free and instant fund transfers between two accounts under your organization. Common uses for book payments include:

Moving funds between two accounts that belong to the same end-customer.
Moving funds between two accounts that belong to different end-customers.
Moving funds from clearing accounts to end-customer accounts.
Moving funds from your organization's revenue account to an end-customer account.

Once you create a book payment, Unit will process it instantly and free of charge. The result will be one Book Transaction in each account.

The direction of book payment is always Credit, moving funds from account to counterpartyAccount.

Displaying Sensitive Card Data

In order to display sensitive data (e.g. card number and CVV2) to a customer, without any of it passing through your systems (which requires PCI compliance), Unit utilizes a 3rd party service called Very Good Security or VGS for short.

VGS provides a JavaScript library (as well as iOS and Android SDKs) called VGS Show which allows easy integration with your UI components. VGS Show offloads the PCI compliance burden by enabling the encrypted transmission of sensitive card data from VGS directly to your cardholder.

The VGS Show JavaScript library enables you to securely display sensitive data in a webpage while safely isolating that sensitive data from your systems. VGS Show JavaScript library injects a secure iframe into your HTML. VGS hosts both the iframe, and the data on secure, compliant servers.

Integration steps

Example of creating a Customer Token for sensitive data:

curl -X POST 'https://api.s.unit.sh/customers/8/token' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}' \
--data-raw '{
  "data":{
    "type":"customerToken",
    "attributes": {
      "scope": "cards-sensitive",
      "verificationToken": "i8FWKLBjXEg3TdeK93G3K9PKLzhbT6CRhn/VKkTsm....",
      "verificationCode": "203130"
    }
  }
}
'

Activate Card

In order to activate a new card, without any sensitive data passing through your systems (which requires PCI compliance), Unit utilizes a 3rd party service called Very Good Security or VGS for short.

VGS provides a JavaScript library (as well as iOS and Android SDKs) called VGS Collect which allows easy integration with your UI components. VGS Collect offloads the PCI compliance burden by enabling the encrypted transmission of sensitive card data from VGS directly to the card processor.

VGS Collect JavaScript library injects a secure iframe into your HTML. VGS hosts both the iframe, and the data on secure, compliant servers.

Counterparties

The counterparty resource represents the other party that participates in a financial transaction.

When a customer is expected to send funds to same counterparty on multiple occasions you may create a counterparty resource and re-use it by creating an ACH payment to linked Counterparty, instead of the customer typing the routing number and account number repeatedly.

When creating an API Token Unit recommends not to select the payments-write and counterparties-write, however we do recommend selecting payments-write-counterparty scope, which allows making payments to counterparty resource only.

When using the recommended scopes for API Token you would first need to Create a Customer Token (along with two-factor authentication) in order to create the counterparty resource.

The counterparty resource also allows you to make (automated) payments without creating a Customer Token or selecting sensitive scopes for the API Token, by using ACH payment to linked Counterparty and API Token with only payments-write-counterparty selected.

This adds another layer of security, because the API Token alone cannot make payments to counterparties which are not created and approved by the customer.

Transactions

A transaction is an individual entry that represents any financial movement within an account. The Transaction resource represents confirmed transactions that were posted to the account, including their source, amount, and direction.

Unit currently supports the following types of transactions.

Type	Description
Originated ACH	An ACH payment originated from a deposit account.
Received ACH	An ACH payment received by a deposit account.
Returned ACH	An ACH payment returned by the bank.
Wire	A wire transaction, either received or sent.
Book	A payment between two accounts on the same bank.
Purchase	A purchase via debit card.
ATM	A deposit or a withdrawal of funds from an ATM with a debit card.
Fee	Fees incurred for a transaction.
Interest	An Interest payment to a deposit account.
Card Reversal	A reversal of a previous card transaction.
Card Transaction	A transaction that represents various card transactions that are not `Purchase` or `ATM` transactions. Those might be split in the future into different types.
Release Transaction	A transaction releasing funds from a batch account.
Adjustment Transaction	Manual Adjustment is made in situations where the correction of an amount, or a reverse of a completed transaction is needed.

In addition to their own specific fields, all transaction types are guaranteed to contain the following top-level fields:

Field	type	Description
direction	string	The direction in which the funds flow- Debit or Credit.
amount	integer	The amount (cents) of the transaction.
balance	integer	The account balance (cents) after the transaction.
summary	string	Human-friendly summary of the transaction.

New transaction types may be added in the future, as we introduce new financial products. To minimize code changes on your side, we recommend using the summary field when displaying transactions to end-customers.

Authorizations

The authorization (also authorization hold) process is an essential step in completing a card transaction. During authorization, the merchant receives the card holder’s information and verifies that the card is valid and that the card holder has sufficient funds to cover the amount of the transaction. Most merchants proceed immediately from authorization to the completion of the transaction, but they have the option to place a hold instead.

An authorization effectively “reserves” a certain amount of the card holder’s available funds for the merchant upon completion of the card transaction. The amount of the authorization is made unavailable to the card holder, but it isn’t transferred to the merchant’s account—not yet. When the transaction is settled, the authorization will be removed, and the card holder is charged the actual, final purchase amount.

The authorized amount will be included in the card holder account hold amount and will be reflected in the account available amount (see Deposit Account)

Batch Payments

A batch payment is any incoming payment into a batch account, which is a type of organization account. Once a batch payment is received, you are expected to split it between multiple customer accounts in your organization. This action is known as Release.

Batch accounts are meant to hold funds for a short period of time (typically less than a day). They serve use cases that deposit accounts cannot serve for compliance reasons. One such use case is send funds representing N businesses from a payment processor (e.g. WePay or Stripe) into N accounts under the same N businesses on Unit.

Batch Account

curl -X GET 'https://api.s.unit.sh/accounts/10104' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"

Example Response

{
    "data": {
        "type": "batchAccount",
        "id": "10104",
        "attributes": {
            "createdAt": "2020-12-09T12:17:49.849Z",
            "name": "Pied Piper batch account",
            "routingNumber": "812345678",
            "accountNumber": "1000000104",
            "balance": 0,
            "hold": 0
        },
        "relationships": {
            "org": {
                "data": {
                    "type": "org",
                    "id": "1"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

A batch account is a type of organization account. You may instruct other institutions or payment processors to send funds directly into it, by sharing its routing number and account number.

Release is the act of splitting a single batch payment between multiple customer accounts in your organization. When creating releases, you are required to provide compliance information for the original senders of the funds.

In contrast to other Create operations, Create Batch Releases creates multiple releases in a *single* API call by taking a data array.

Simulations (Sandbox only)

Unit's Sandbox environment provides additional operations on top of the regular APIs. Those operations allow you to easily test and simulate activities that would normally take a long time or require interaction with the external world.

A common example for testing would be Simulating a Received ACH Payment to create funds in an account, followed by Simulating a Card Purchase to spend those funds.

Application Statuses

By default, all applications in our sandbox will be approved immediately. Below are ways to simulate other statuses:

Status	Description
`PendingReview`	Individual application: set the SSN on the application to 000000004. Business application: set the SSN of the Officer or any Beneficial Owner on the application to 000000004.
`AwaitingDocuments`	Individual application: set the SSN on the application to 000000002 to simulate AwaitingDocuments for Address Verification, or 000000003 to simulate AwaitingDocuments for Id Document, or 000000006 to simulate AwaitingDocuments for Social Security Card. Business application: set the SSN of the Officer on the application to 000000005.
`Denied`	Individual application: set the SSN on the application to 000000001.

Approve Application

Example Request:

curl -X POST 'https://api.s.unit.sh/sandbox/applications/10001/approve' \

Webhooks

Unit uses webhooks to notify your application when an event occurs.

Example events: Application denied, Customer created, Transaction created.

When one of those events occurs, an HTTP POST request is sent to the webhook's configured URL, allowing you to act upon it.

Use Unit's Dashboard to create and manage your webhooks.

Securing your webhooks

Example of a NodeJS server verifying webhook payload

const express = require('express')
var crypto = require('crypto')
const app = express()
const port = 4000

app.post('/my-webhhok', (request, response) => {
  response.send('request passed signature validation...')
})

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({
    extended: true
}));

app.use((request, response, next) => {
    var signature = request.header("x-unit-signature")
    var hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha1', <your secret>)
    hmac.update(JSON.stringify(request.body))

    if(hmac.digest('base64') == signature) {
        next()
    }
    else {
        response.status(500).send("Signatures didn't match!")
    }
  })


app.listen(port, (err) => {
  console.log(`server is listening on ${port}`)
})

Ensure your server is only receiving the expected Unit requests.

Once your server is configured to receive payloads, it'll listen for any payloads sent to the endpoint you configured.

For security reasons, you probably want to verify that the payloads are coming from Unit.

To verify the payloads when creating a webhook you can set up a secret token which Unit will use to sign the payloads.

Setting up your secret token

You'll need to set up your secret token in two places: Unit dashboard and your server. To set your token in Unit Dashboard:

Navigate to Webhooks on the left side menu.
Click on create and fill up the token field.

Verifying payloads from Unit

If your secret token is set, Unit will use it to create a hash signature with the entire body of the webhook request.

This hash signature, encoded with base64 is passed along with each request in the headers as X-Unit-Signature.

Unit uses an HMAC SHA1 to compute the hash.

Testing

To test the Webhook functionality you can use https://webhook.site. This site will let you generate a unique URL to use for your Webhook and then capture incoming requests, allowing you to examine the event's contents.

Another alternative is to use https://ngrok.com which enables you to expose a port on your development machine to the internet.
